If you only plug in one of the power supplies, does the device still function but only running up half the boards at 250GH/s?

Just thinking about if a breaker trips.

Since this rig is running with a USB hub inside, yes, that is exactly what will happen.

When they start using xlink, it will depend on if the master board is taken out or not so if one PSU goes down, you could lose the whole rig.
I thought they had already been told about this problem at one of the trade shows?

Why have they not fixed this to date?
I'm pretty sure everyone considers it more important to get it delivered and mining...
Apparently not...
Hello fellow bitcoiners,

It has come to my attention that there are multiple BFL customers with early orders who would like to part with some of their 500Gh/s units. The reasons are numerus, from not having enough power to run the units to some wanting to not have to deal with mining.

I would like to get a feeling from the community if any of you are interested in purchasing these units.

My roll in this is strictly as a broker / escrow / single point of contact for handling all queries and sales.

The 500Gh/s units are offered at $150k each with payment in BTC preferred.

If you have any questions, you can ask them by PM or in this thread.

Best,
James

He's apparently already trying to sell orders (as a broker or not) for more than it is worth. What does that tell you?

Wow $150,000 for something that initially was priced at $30,000 and had originally twice the specified hash speed?

Fucking lawlz!
Take notice he is selling a third of a minirig (500Gh/s) for 150k.

The total unit should therefore go for 450k. (15x the original price)

WAY more than it is actually worth (even in BTC production).

I think it is getting "kind of obvious" that people are offloading Gen1 ASICs unto "the greater fool".

I haven't even taken the time to really go on about BFL Singles because I want to see how long it takes for people to notice by the time they get their Single...it is pretty much worth [much] less.

The odd thing is...if they sell it...before they actually get it (as a pre-order). They might actually make more than when they get it and use it.

The funny thing is, there are quite a few selling their Singles and doing just that on Ebay and in the Marketplace.

By the time Singles get into the hands of customers, there will be so many on sale, that the resale price will tank. Like a shark...I am waiting for it. Cheesy
